WHAT'S YOUR "DRUG"?
In this impatient world where everyone wants things snappy,
What’s your thing, your it, your go to that makes you happy?
How do you fight back & fix whatever gets you down?
Is it something to take, to do, or something that’s sure to astound!
Maybe it’s going shopping, to buy new or just to accumulate stuff,
Is it the thrill of the hunt, the bargain, the diamond in the ruff.
Only a temporary fix, that rush you get, that buying does evoke,
Tis makes the foolish one left void & eventually left broke.
Maybe it’s love & in the arms of...

your words move
like broken glass
across my lips
gone far too long
already
beautiful girl
beautiful soul
beautiful darkness
broken toy doll in a
grotesque
world
there are pictures of
you reciting your
poetry, aged 8 or 9,
arms gyrating madly,
audience crucified
to thier seats
child prodigy is what
the intellectus called
you
but no one...

Unloving
Unloving you is like skydiving.
I am so scared to do it, yet I’m already so high up, needing to jump.
Unloving you is like trying a new lipstick.
I’m scared to do it because what if people laugh or think I look stupid.
Unloving you is hard.
Because you were so close.
But I know I need to do it,
For fear of unloving myself if I choose not to.
Unloving myself would be nothing new.
Forgetting myself to take care of you.
Unloving those around me.
When I keep them like shields.
Surrounding myself in...

the ghost
It’s 5AM and sunlight is streaming through the windows of this borrowed room
While I lie awake in a new bed joined only by the ghost of us
And I am struck by the brutal truth that history always repeats itself
It was only a few years ago that I laid in another borrowed room, in another town, in another new bed
Accompanied by the ghost of a failed engagement
And a few years before that there was another room and bed and a much more brutal ghost
And now I lay here as this ghost runs it’s hand along my arm
Caressing my skin in a crude imitation of intimacy ...
While I lie awake in a new bed joined only by the ghost of us
And I am struck by the brutal truth that history always repeats itself
It was only a few years ago that I laid in another borrowed room, in another town, in another new bed

And a few years before that there was another room and bed and a much more brutal ghost
And now I lay here as this ghost runs it’s hand along my arm

FORBIDDEN but NEVER FORGOTTEN LOVE
Sometimes in life, even when it's late,
Destiny calls, maybe it’s just fate.
Making you ponder while questioning why,
Maybe it’s written way up in the sky.
Impossible prediction, without much warning,
A hot sultry day, or a cool crisp morning.
Mattering not, how did it arrive?
Stirring your interest or coming alive!
You have who you want, the perfect match,
How can another, be a tempting catch?
They drive through your heart, like a truck down a road,
Hauling your interests as part of their load.
Complete...

remembering a bright, sunny afternoon
the new place I work is
in an old area where I
USED to work a decade
ago
took a drive after work
remembering what I
thought were the good
old days
I suppose in some
unnatural way they were
because when you are
young and in love the
natural becomes unnatural
and the unnatural
becomes natural
or some stupid
shit like
that

The Battle
Dear God, my heart is broken and it has been for so long.
I feel so weak inside myself but im trying to be strong.
I fight this battle daily and im not sure that I can win ...
Im still stuck in the past you see where I have always been.
I miss all the ones God took away , especially my dad.
In recovery I dwell on things that make me very sad.
In addiction I avoided things, my mind was such a mess.
I just tried to numb the pain , I really must confess .
Sobreity is hard as hell, cuz all I do is think.
Its really bad because they say I...

Swan Song...Death Be Gone
The last chapter of somebody's story...Last curtain called, before you take your final bow & hear the roar of a closing applauds...The ending of a new beginning. Fighting the war to live...Still you always here the fatal whispers of your death coming near for your souls debt...Sadistic & taunting you. It's your your last breath & date with life...Goodbyes of cries & final of past memories, fade & blur with time. Too much time lays on my hands & mind. Remembering me...The chronicles of my life I lived & lead...The TRUTHS, soundless words never spoken & voiced....

CROWN MADE OF TEARS
In the deep end of my heart
A gloaming cold river streams
Icy water that only flows in the dark
Where I keep my special dreams
Royal to it's throne exquisite art
Hear echoes of memories that sustain
The past without a name
Pure happiness now a beautiful pain
I want it to downpour tons of rain
Caress my agonizing brain
I only want to know if my king has finally came!!!
If only there be hope but only gets caliginous
No care cause the vicious despair
Waiting on downhearted wishes
Closing...
A gloaming cold river streams
Icy water that only flows in the dark
Where I keep my special dreams
Royal to it's throne exquisite art

Pure happiness now a beautiful pain
I want it to downpour tons of rain
Caress my agonizing brain
I only want to know if my king has finally came!!!
If only there be hope but only gets caliginous
No care cause the vicious despair

Someday
Someday I will come home to peace
A quiet house and a quiet mind
A happy heart and a cozy bed
And you
You probably won’t be there
But I will
With a made bed and flowers on the table
Someday my heart won’t beat out of my chest
Just at the thought of it
It will be an oasis
It will be comfortable and loving and safe
Someday I’ll stop struggling to picture another at my table
Because I know
I know that while all I can see right now is you, you are not my forever
God do I wish you were
I want to spend the rest of my life...
A quiet house and a quiet mind
A happy heart and a cozy bed
And you
You probably won’t be there
But I will
With a made bed and flowers on the table
Someday my heart won’t beat out of my chest
Just at the thought of it
It will be an oasis
It will be comfortable and loving and safe
Someday I’ll stop struggling to picture another at my table
Because I know
I know that while all I can see right now is you, you are not my forever
God do I wish you were

BURN
Reflections in the rear view mirror within the confounds of my mind
I want to cherish how you once loved me and once treated me so kind.
I still can’t comprehend how you just left without a trace or call
Now I’m building the courage to move on as if we meant nothing at all
I was the one who was giver of a honest and true unconditional love
You took my heart away and yet, still that seemed not to be enough
There was a time when our bodies moved in a perfect synchronicity
I try to understand how you could just decide to up and...
